Care Packages

I sent a lot of care packages to Sean while he was deployed to Kosovo and Iraq . . . thank goodness for the free MPS shipping! I also had fun sending things to a person you I had never met . . . it sure was nice to finally meet SPC Wright! I would send your typical food items but some of the requests were unique . . . knit sheets, basketball nets, horse shoe set . . . I guess when you are so far away from your normal life the little things mean a lot.

Sean really loved getting food from Hickory Farms . . . sausage, crackers, cheese, and of course spicy mustard. So yesterday when Colin and I were in the grocery store (another painful experience) it brought a smile and sweet memory when I saw the Hickory Farm display. I immediately thought about the picture below and the smiles on the faces. It is weird how the strangest things trigger a memory . . . thank goodness!
